Renewable Structure |
Working with the Kengo Kuma Lab,
PennDesign Ph.D. fellow Ariel Genadt
created The Green Tea Pavilion on the
University of Tokyo campus using wood,
bamboo, natural-fiber rope and paper.
Comprised of 8 arches of varying heights, the structures were made of all renewable materials: wood,bamboo, natural fiber rope and paper. The pavilion was assembled using dry joints, without nails or glue.
The experimental structure’s style is a reinterpretation of traditional Japanese and French construction methods. The structure was on display from August 10-12, 2012 in front of the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Engineering.
